sorta like this
1st set 12 held for 1 second then drop..
2nd set 10 held for 2 seconds then drop (slowly of course)
so forth and so on...

Toph,
That's how I do them. I also really focus on using the abs to do the lifting and try not to use shoulders or back at all. Sometimes, if I feel I'm not hitting the number I'm aiming for, I'll just contract my abs at the top of the crunch and hold it for as long as I can and then go back down.
I'm sure you can think of ways to make yourself suffer...
